Alison speaks with special guest, Nancy McKay, about her personal journey through sobriety, a suicide attempt, and ovarian cancer, and how these experiences led her to leave oil and gas and become a life coach. They discuss Nancy's view that people are not broken when they cannot do things perfectly, and her focus on helping clients recognize their own wisdom rather than looking for answers outside themselves.
They also talk about listening to the body, separating physical sensations from the stories the brain creates, and seeing relapse or setbacks as information rather than failure. Nancy describes her work with women in recovery and with those facing grief, burnout, divorce, retirement, and job loss, as well as her horse-based immersion sessions.
